DELIVERY-TRACK FOR PRINTl NG-PRESSES- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 756,008, dated March 29, 1904.

Application filed July 14, 1903.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE P. FENNEE, a citizen of the United States, residing at New London, in the county of New London and State of Connecticut, have invented new and useful Improvements in Delivery-Tracks for Printing-Presses, of which the following is a specification.

This inventionrelates to a track which can be collapsed or contracted, so as to allow access to parts of machinery, such as printingpresses or other devices.

This construction can be easily made and is simple and not liable to get out of order.

This invention is set forth in the following specification and claims and illustrated in the annexed drawings, in which Figure 1 is a plan view of atrack embodying this invention and applied to a printingpress. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a section along as m, Fig. 2. Fig. 4 shows a lip or engaging portion.

In the drawings is shown a delivery-track or a track for a delivery carriage or mechanism. Said delivery-track comprises sections 70 and Z. The section Z is movable with respect to the other section. The section or part k is shown stationary. The section Zhas a lip m, which projects under or connects to section 70, and is also provided with a casting or part 0, havinga hub. or projection 10. This projection is supported on or rests over the edge of the bracket or support g. The section Z has teeth engaged by gear a, and by rotating this gear one way or another this tracksection is run away from or toward the impression-cylinder or feed-board, or, in other words, the track is collapsed or extended. ,As

the section [is run away from the cylinder along track-section 7c the hub 10, resting on the bracket g, prevents the lip on from dropping out of contact or engagement with the stationary part of the track when the weight of section l at part 0 has overbalanced the opposite end of such section, which rests next the cylinder when the parts are in working position or extended. In other words, the hubp serves as a guide by riding along or on top of the track or bracket 9, which is secured in suitable manner to the frame or a fixed part of the structure.

The delivery-table r is suitably supported Serial No. 165,485. (No model.)

on the frame, and this frame has brackets or projections 8, extended toward the impression-cylinder. It is found desirable to be able to move the delivery-table toward the impression-cylinder without removing such table from the brackets. Such shifting of the table serves to uncover the inking rolls or apparatus, (indicated at t.) This extension or bracket 8 of suitable length allows the delivery table or board to he slid toward the cylinder the desired extent Without tipping up. At the same time this extension 8 is so short as to be free or leave a suitable space between it and the impression-cylinder for giving access toparts of the mechanism directly at or in proximity tosuch cylinder or below the level of the extension.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is'

1. A track comprising sections one of which is movably connected to the other and provided with a projection, and a support forthe projection.

2. A track comprising sections one of which has a lip movably engaging the other section, said first-named section being provided with a projection made to travel along a support.

3. A track comprising sections one of which is movable, a gear for moving said last-named section, and a projection and bracket made to support such movable section, the latter having a 'lip made to pass or engage under the other section.

4:. A track-section and a bracket, combined with a second section movable with respect to the first and provided with a lip made to movably engage the first-named section and a projection made to travel along the bracket.

5. A printing-press having a frame with an extension and a delivery-table shiftable along the extension, said extension being free to allowacce'ss past the same and past the table when supported on such extension to underlying parts.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set myhand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

GEORGE P. FENNER.
